ON the bridge.

our usually quiet city?
The markets are fun of green corn,
watermelons, cantaloupes and all sorts
Of good things, nowadays, to- tickle the
palates of our stay-at-homes.
Work on the bridge has commenced
on the east side of the st. Johns. We
will soon hear the rumbling of the train
ON the magnificent structure.
The local reporter would like to know
what has become of that lively C9 tenn
perance society that fourished it's day
about the time of our last city election.
The absorbing of all other topics of
conversation around the Board of Trade
yesterday was the Macon Railroad, which
everyone seems to think will be the
making of Palatka.

Fourth of July to take place on the river
opposite Palatka will be fully reported

good time and an exciting race.

AIRY hull i'm trade just now. but the time
is not lost as they are busy making new
displays, brushing out the dusty corners

bridge begins.
The following is clipped from the Sc
vile Independent: ''Ex-Speaker r. w. |
Davis, of Palatka, is already named as
the successor of Hon. Charles Dougherty |
for Congress i'm 1888 Nothing seems
more likely than that Mr.. Davis can have
the honor, if he will"
1t is pretty well understood by this
time that our Mayor means business
when he prohibits the Marshal and po-
llcemen from entering saloons while on
duty, as more than one city officer is
mourning over the loss of money in
the way of fines, for failing to comply.
Mr.and Mrs. William Bryan left on the
morning train, yesterday. for Eufala,
Ala, where they have gone for the ben
eft of MIR. Bryan's health. They will
remain there during the summer months,
after which their many friends hope to
see them return with Mr.. Bryan's health
wholly restored
Passing the southwest corner of Blake
and Lemon streets yesterday, we were
met by the smell of all smells, outsmell-
ing all the seven distinct smells of Co

pavements m profusion and weeds
choked the passageway Of water under
the bridge. Such as this does not cause
sickness; oh, no.
